GETTING READY – INFLATING PORTAL Inflatable SUP

1. Unpack Your Inflatable SUP Set
   Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold board. Roll out the inflatable SUP board completely flat with the Non-Slip EVA Foam Deck side facing up.

2. Unlock Valve for Inflation
   Find the high pressure inflation valve near the bottom of the board. Twist the cap counter clockwise to detach and access the center valve pin. Press the center pin once to pop it up slightly. Now the valve is in “open” position for inflating . Be careful of any sand or debris around the valve area when inflating and deflating, as small particles could become airborne with the release of air.
   Always keep the center pin in “close” position and screw the cap clockwise to block air outflow when in use. This will prevent accidental air release and entrance of any particles into the air chambers.

3. Pose
   Connect pump and start inflating.

4. Secure air pressure
   When PSI monitor reaches a desired level, please detach the hose from the valve. Press the center valve pin down to “close” position and screw the cap clockwise to secure are pressure.

INFLATION TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS

• The board can be inflated either with our hand pump or an electric pump. The electric pump can inflate the board to a moderate pressure and save a lot of time with about 90% of the required air volume. You will need to use your hand pump to inflate the chambers to the correct pressure.
• Do not use an air compressor. Damage to your board caused by over inflation from an air compressor is not covered by your warranty.
• After 2 or 3 days there may be a small decrease of pressure due to temperature change. If so, add a few pumps of air.
• Before undertaking a long paddle, inflate the board for a full 24 hours to be sure the board is airtight. If you are seeing a consistent decrease in air pressure, follow the instructions for leak detection in the board repair section of this manual.

Attach Tracking Fin
In addition to the two side fins that are fixed to the board, there is also a removable tracking fin that needs to be attached. This fin helps with “tracking” or keeping the SUP moving in a straight direction. Once the board is inflated, flip over the board facing down to attach the tracking fin.
Put fin base into fin box from the wide inlet. Push the fin down. The fin base will slide to the end of box at the same time. Turn the screw to secure fin firmly.

Make sure the center fin box is clean and free of debris.

Assemble Aluminum Adjustable Paddle
To assemble the paddle, hold the button in while sliding the pieces together until they click into place. The last section (top) of the paddle is adjustable.
To find the ideal height for your paddle, start by building the paddle so it is 6 inches taller than your own height. From this point, adjust the top section up or down until the length is comfortable for you. A longer paddle is better suited for a smooth, easier paddling motion. A shorter paddle is good for performance or competition riding.

Paddle Safety Leash
Then attach the other end of the safety leash to the safety D-ring by pulling the inner rope through the ring and secure in place with the Velcro tape.

Deflate Without a Manual Pump
When packing your inflatable SUP, remove all detachable parts. Then lay the board facing up on a smooth surface. Clean any unwanted debris, especially around the valve area. Open the valve cap and press the center pin to start releasing air.
There will be an initial burst of air, but will turn to slow release. When the air outflow slows down, start rolling up the board from the opposite end and fold it into a packing size. When packing, lock the valve cap to protect the center pin and elongate inflatable SUP lifetime.

Deflate With a Manual Pump
Remember to step on the pump securely, to prevent slipping.

BOARD LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR

1. About PVC
   Your new stand up paddleboard is made from a durable PVC. If a tear or puncture does occur, PVC is very easy to repair. Repairs are easily done with your included patch kit.
   Read the following paragraphs for leak detection and repair tips.

2. Air Leak Detection
   If the board is losing air pressure not caused by colder temperature, then check for leaks. Start with the valve.
   A leaking valve is rare, but if you did find one, please contacts us via Info@portaloutdoors.com. Your paddleboard comes with 1 year quality warranty.
   If you continue to have problems it’s probably time to order a replacement valve kit or a new model. Replacement of the whole valve can be done with a simple tool that comes with the replacement valve kit.

3. Small Repairs
   Punctures less than 1/8″ in size can be repaired simply without a patch. Deflate your board, then clean and dry the area to be repaired. Apply a small drop of glue to cover the puncture, and let it dry 12 hours.
   If your board needs repair, use the patches in the repair kit and follow these steps:

   • Deflate the board completely, lay it flat and wait for it to dry.
   • Cut a patch that is 2 inches larger than the tear/rip all the way around.
   • Use alcohol to clean the repair area.
   • Apply three coats of adhesive to the patch and the board. Wait 5 minutes in between each coat.
   • Place the patch over the tear/rip. The adhesive will react quickly, so make sure the positioning is precise/accurate. Use the roller to ensure the patch lays flat and even.
   • Wait 24 hours before re-inflating the board.

4. Large or Difficult Repairs
   If you have a difficult repair, please send us email and we will advise you on the best way to repair it.

BOARD CARE AND STORAGE

To ensure your inflatable SUP would stay in the game longer

• Before storing, hose off the board and let it dry completely to prevent mildew buildup.

• Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap and fresh water.

• To keep the board in the best possible condition, it is recommended that you always deflate then fold up the board and put it in the protective bag when it is not in use.
  If storing the board outdoors, raise it up off the ground and cover it with a tarp to prevent exposure to the elements.

• Hanging the board is not recommended.

• Do not store in extreme conditions (i.e. above 150F or below -10F)

• Store in a clean, dry, sheltered place.

BOARD FOLDING STEPS

The board storage bag is designed to allow you to get your board into the bag as easily as possible with minimal folds. Do not roll up the board too tight when storing it while deflated.
Follow the diagram below for the best folding procedures.
